"That Is The Way"

Do this, do that
Do this, do that
Go and speak (do this)
To your niece (do that)
Kiss your aunt (do this)
On the cheek (do that)
Don't talk back (do this)
Now run along (do that)
It's gone eight (do this)
Say goodnight (do that)

That is the way that is done
That is the way that is done
That is the way that is done
Boy and girl, girl and boy
This is how you do it and
Who am I to reason why

Do this, do that
Do this, do that
Wear a shirt (do this)
Wear a tie (do that)
You look smart (do this)
In a suit (do that)
Use your fork (do this)
On the left (do that)
Straighten up (do this)
Shoulders back (do that)

That is the way that is done
That is the way that is done
That is the way that is done
Boy and girl, girl and boy
This is how you do it and
Who am I to reason why
